Even at my age, I find that I’m often dreaming—not those fantasies about weird or illogical things, but dreaming, nonetheless. My kind of dreaming is just getting wrapped up in the small things around me–the things most people just ignore, deliberately or by default.
When I see a butterfly, I don’t just say “oooh, pretty,” before snapping a photo. I sort of go into… Read More ➤
It’s easy to feel bigger than the world. After all, we’re always inside our own head, so it becomes our world or at least our frame of reference for it. Sometimes we just don’t see any further than ourselves. But there are times when I’m reminded that the world is so much bigger than I am. No, I don’t have to descend into a volcano, jump from a plane, or climb a huge mountain. Sometimes it only takes something small.
I recently stumbled upon … Read More ➤
As old as I am, I still learn and see new things every day. Sure, in many ways, I’ve seen and done it all, and a few folks think I’m wise beyond my years. But put a camera in my hands and send me into the woods, and I’m like a kid in a candy store for the very first time.
While hiking dirt paths and long-closed roads, sweating like a pig, and swatting at gnats from hell, I’m still… Read More ➤
I’ve come to realize that I really don’t like to just take pretty pictures or videos. I prefer to capture the essence of things, either what makes them tick or what makes them unique.
Just this past Saturday, I was in New York City, the greatest city in the world. I took a point-and-shoot Canon that takes great photos, with great optical zoom even. I also took my Sony Webbie, a 5.0 megapixel, fixed-lens camera to take video. I was surrounded by landmarks on more than a few occasions. I saw the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Grand Central Station. It was non-stop New York.
And what did I capture? Only… Read More ➤
Back when I first moved to Delaware, I discovered White Clay Creek Preserve (now State Park). It was my way to escape campus and Newark, and it was where I cleared my mind and contemplated the complex world. My mountain bike and Pentax K1000 were my best friends.
Fast forward almost 20 years… Read More ➤

Without school and excessive driving to take up all my time, I finally have time to play with the camera I bought over 3 years ago. I wanted the full power of an SLR camera and the ease of digital, so I went with a Canon Digital Rebel. But I wasn’t quite ready for all the features! I had come from an all-manual Pentax K1000, so all the auto settings made life harder, not easier. Now maybe I can at least learn half of it, but I’m already addicted.
Burger time I have already just about maxed out the allotment of 200 displayed photos on Flickr. The rest will still be there, but only the latest 200 will show. I never thought for a second that I’d fill that up in a matter of weeks, but I… Read More ➤
